Sauna Heaters

If you want a heater made right here in Canada, the Homecraft and TimberGlow lines are where to look. The Revive tower heater is 100% stainless steel with 200 lbs of rock capacity, protected heating elements, and ETL certification to CSA and UL standards. The Revive Slim fits tighter spaces at just 13 by 7.5 by 36 inches while still holding 100 lbs of stone. For larger saunas or commercial builds, the Apex handles rooms up to 1,150 cubic feet with 310 lbs of stone and a protected element air chamber - available in 240V single-phase and 208V three-phase. And the TimberGlow is LeisureCraft's own wood-burning sauna stove - a 3/16-inch steel firebox that accepts 16-inch logs and holds 200 lbs of rock for serious heat output.

For those drawn to Finnish craftsmanship, Narvi offers three wood-burning options. The Kaamos has a minimalist profile with a full-glass door and 60 kg of stone. The Kuru is the compact pick with a glazed door and black-painted steel housing. The NC Black brings an efficient fire chamber with a cast iron glass door. On the electric side, the Estonian-designed Huum Drop won the Red Dot design award, holds 55 kg of stone, and connects to Wi-Fi for app-based temperature control. The Huum Hive Mini holds a generous 170 kg of stone - enough mass to produce exceptionally long-lasting, mild steam that keeps the room comfortable for extended sessions.

The choice between electric and wood-burning comes down to how you like to sauna. A wood-burning stove gives you the crackle, the ritual of building a fire, and complete independence from the electrical grid. An electric heater gives you precise control, faster heat-up, and the convenience of flipping a switch. Either way, more stone mass means softer, more lasting löyly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I know what size heater I need?

Match the heater to your sauna's room volume in cubic feet. The Revive Slim covers 100 to 300 cubic feet. The Revive handles 200 to 300. The Apex ranges from 400 to 1,150 depending on kilowatt output. An authorized dealer can help match the right heater to your specific sauna model and room size.

What's the difference between electric and wood-burning sauna heaters?

Electric heaters heat up in 30 to 45 minutes, offer precise temperature control, and require a 240V electrical connection. Wood-burning stoves take a bit longer, run completely off-grid, and give you the crackling-fire atmosphere that many enthusiasts consider essential. Both produce genuine löyly when water is poured over the stones.

Does LeisureCraft manufacture its own heaters?

The woodburning TimberGlow is manufactured by LeisureCraft. Homecraft is a canadian company that produces the Revive, Revive Slim and Apex, and Narvi heaters are made in Finland and Huum heaters are designed in Estonia. LeisureCraft distributes all three brands but manufactures only TimberGlow.

Do wood-burning sauna heaters require a chimney?

Yes. Wood-burning stoves need proper ventilation through a chimney pipe, and installation should follow local building codes. LeisureCraft saunas designed for wood-burning heaters come with chimney provisions built into the roof design.

Are the electric heaters certified for safety?

Yes. Homecraft Revive and Revive Slim are ETL-certified to CSA and UL standards. The Apex is CSA and UL approved. Huum heaters carry their own European certifications with a 5-year warranty.
